Big Success with Guided Reading

So far, *knock on wood* I like doing guided but silent reading with the third graders. People told me not to expect little ones to read silently, but I am finding that as long as I teach it and break it apart, they do really well.

I am open to using the tape first if I find this doesn't work, but so far I like reading with the tape second for fluency and reading silently for comprehension first.

About Me

I teach third grade in a city in the desert.
I am religious, but intellectual.
I am quiet, but my thoughts are really loud.
I am stubborn.
I read all kinds of things.
I have an overactive imagination.
I am conservative, but a non-conformist.
